Traditional Cut Roof
Can anyone advise on a traditional cut roof in the uk please.
We intend to use 47mm x 195mm grade C16 wood at 600mm centres. Does anyone have access to BS5268-3 Regs and can advise on the current specs for connection, nails, bolts etc etc? Or a decent website offering advice. |

Re: Traditional Cut Roof
A "Roofer", as you state you are, should be self-sufficient concerning this application. Are you sure you are a Roofer?

http://www.timberframe.co.uk/forms/TRA%20Attic%20Bracing.pdf 47mm = 1 7/8" 195mm = 7 11/16" 600mm = 23 5/8" o.c. Check your span charts and prints....then, as we say over here, "Git er done." |

Re: Traditional Cut RoofQuote:
Is the lumber milled differently over there, or is that just from the metric to imperial conversion? |

Re: Traditional Cut RoofThat was a good post Max but I think Malco called it right.The OP was either
a HO or a hack.In the UK a hack is known as a cowboy so if the OP is from the UK he new exactly what I was saying to him. I just hope its his roof he's making a mess of and not somebody else's. |
